tune up
I have a 5.4L tritan V8, 1998 F250XLT, Yesterday the engine was missing, I don't have a computor to hook up to, so I took it in today, #8 coil is being replaced. I want to change the plugs, I read a thread yesterday that gave a step by step on how to do this, I can't find the post and would like to try to change them. Does any one know what thread I was reading, or could someone help with the info? Thanks

Things to note -
Use a good anti-sieze.
Snug up the plugs, but do not over tighten.
Have many universals on hand.
Hope that helps.

That's the thread I was reading, I'm not any kind of auto mechanic, I do have all of the extensions(1"-14", 1/4, 3/8, 1/2) and tools needed to do the job being a commercial HVAC/R service tachnician for the last 16 years. I pretty much gave up on working on cars after 1974, except for alternators, starters etc... It didn't get any easier in the 90s. Thank you for the help, a 3hour job at 56 dollars an hour+parts is a lot to pay for a few spark plugs. I guess Ford made it harder so no one could even change their own plugs! Thanks again
